IMPROVEMENT IN CORKSCREW-FRAMES;

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 195,450, dated September 25, 1877; application filed February 12, 1877.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, J. LITTLE HYDE, of the city and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Frames for Power Corkscrews, said improvement relating more particularly to the device shown in the patent granted to Charles Ghinnock, April 14, 1863;

i and I do hereby declare that the following is a cork should be torn through, the screw could not be used separately to dig it'out.

The frame a, is made with a slot or division at b, a little less in width than the diameter of the shank of the corkscrew, and a section of a hole each side of the slot. The upright sides of the frame spring enough to hold the corkscrew in place when the frame is used as a fulcrum, the shank being the key to the arch, but allowing the corkscrew to be taken out and used separately.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is

The frame a, made with the slot b,as described, for the purpose set forth.
